'Free Software is about empowerment.
When I was a student with little money, Linux enabled me to do interesting things with my cheap and old computer where the pre-installed software failed.
Since then, my whole education & many achievements would have been impossible had I not been able to experiment, learn, disassemble, reassemble, modify, tweak, and use #software the way I wanted.
This kind of #empowerment needs a strong lobby: the FSFE'

We're taking aim for the stars with FemtoStar - a mobile satellite service running open software atop of open hardware spacecraft.

I get that, just wanted to play devils advocate I suppose in case you hadn't considered that angle/concern@gray@fosstodon.org
@lupyuen I'm pretty excited for this one. I'm curious how they'll link everything up.
@itsfarseen @alexbuzzbee
Thanks, not sure if I was living under a rock or what. But hadn't heard of this going on. @cos
@garritfra @gray
Are you encrypting it somehow and sharing out a password or key? Or leaving all of that in a blank text file?
Seems like a treasure trove of information if someone got in potentially. (Could be tinfoil hat talk though). Not trying to attack the idea good on you for having a disaster recovery plan.
@cos for the uninitiated what's going on?

I was tracking the low bandwidth but I hadn't read the time limitations @Blort @lupyuen

Am I reading this right for LoRa restrictions?:
"
If you use The Things Network (free public community LoRaWAN network), the following fair use policy applies:
The uplink airtime is limited to 30 seconds per day (24 hours) per node.
The downlink messages are limited to 10 messages per day (24 hours) per node.
"
It makes sense there's be restrictions but this seems excessive. (Could be I'm just not fully sped up on the full limitations)

@federico3
Thanks for the source I'm going to try digging through that in a bit. I wonder if we'll see a resergience of message boards then or if even that would be too much. @Blort @lupyuen

I can't recall the exact spec/bandwidth right now but yes, I do remember it being really low. Still, it'll be interesting to see what folks do with this iteration of it and what happens in future editions. Even if an element just turns into IRC bridges to Lora haha
@Blort @lupyuen
@lupyuen great news. No idea what I'll use Lora for practically but I'm curious to play on it.
